NEW this year - Wall of Wine and Spirits

The sommeliers of the Venetian Ball are looking for your help in launching a new wine experience at this year's event. The Wall of Wine & Spirits will give you the opportunity to add to or freshen up your cellar.
 
We are looking for tax-deductible donations of wine or spirit bottles valued at $50 - $250.
 
Please contact David Friend at dfriend@marincatholic.org to arrange delivery or pick up of your donation. Please do not send donations to the school with your students.

One Stop, one item!

A fun part of the evening is our auction, and we hope that EVERY family can donate ONE item to help make it a success. Donations of all kinds and values are appreciated and make a meaningful impact. We are asking today to see if you can donate:
  • A vacation home, timeshare, or other great getaway
  • A gift card to a restaurant, retail store, service, etc.
  • A gift card to your favorite local restaurant or shop
  • A wine or spirits donation for our Wine Wall (individual bottles valued between $50–$250)
If you’re able to help—or even just have an idea—please complete This Form, and we will follow up with details. Ready to make your donation? 👉 Donate Today! Your generosity directly supports our students and the programs that make our school so special.
